I am having an issue with Black Ops2 as the game freezes whenever i try to enter multiplayer. I have multiplayer set to default and whenever i start up the game, it gets to a black screen and freezes my console (Xbox 360). This has happened ever since i downloaded the new update, when it freezes, i cant even dashboard so i have nothing to do but to go and manually turn off my console. When looking through the forums i see that other people are having the same problem so i hope that this will get fixed soon.

Mine was doing the same thing. When it gets to that black screen just leave it sit at the screen for like 3-5 minutes and it will start working. I couldnt dashboard or anything either so when it froze on the screen i left my tv to look online for anyone else having issues and it just fixed itself like 3 minutes later. So when it freezes just leave it on for 5 minutes and wait.

I am having the same thing and after I leave it for about 5 mins and finally get into the lobby screen I am now missing my map downloads. So of course I have download the maps again for the fourth time at this point and now I get a message telling me that there is an error with the downloaded content. So fine I will play without the maps but wait now I stay frozen in the lobby screen just like the black screen and I have to manual turn off the system. This is BullS*#T!!!!

While on the black screen, the game is not frozen, but its actually taking longer than usual to check/verify DLC on your console. If you wait a bit, you should eventually make it past the screen. Obviously this is not supposed to be working this way, and we are doing what we can to fix this.

While some reports have come in about DLC missing, this is more than likely just an issue with Xbox live being down. The content is still there, so you will not have to purchase it again.
